The Legion Post 347 has the most cemetery visits of any other post in the United States during its Memorial Day ceremonies.
At each of their cemetery visits, the Legion names all veterans laid to rest, and a military honor ceremony is presented, along with taps played this year by Lomira High School band students Chase Radl and Adella Emmer.
Military Honors are done at the Lomira Sterr Park pond for all veterans lost at sea.
